Automation or Extinction: How North Texas Manufacturers Stay Competitive in the Next 5 Years

Manufacturing is entering a defining decade—and the gap between companies that adopt automation and those that don’t is widening fast. This session breaks down what’s actually happening across North Texas and beyond, including rising labor constraints, global competition, and the acceleration of AI-driven production.

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of where your operation stands today—and what actions are required now to remain competitive, profitable, and relevant over the next 5–10 years.

This is the first workshop in the Forney Tech and Innovation Workshop Series. This workshop series is presented by Robotopia, in partnership with Forney Economic Development.
